biphosphonates

Biphosphonates are medications used to strengthen bones and prevent or treat conditions like osteoporosis, where bones become fragile and more prone to fractures. They work by inhibiting cells that break down bone tissue, helping to maintain or increase bone density. Commonly prescribed for individuals at risk of fractures, especially older adults, biphosphonates are taken orally or through IV, depending on the specific medication. They play a crucial role in managing bone health, reducing the risk of fractures, and improving quality of life in people with weakened bones.
